carac cream /duration of treatment

for 3 weeks, i've been applying carac cream, 0.5% to a keratosis on my face, once a day. all around the crustiness it has become very bright red. it is a large area, at least an inch and a half long, and about a half inch wide. it is on the front of my cheek. it itches, but it doesn't really burn. my rx instructions were to use it until burning occurs. i haven't been able to talk to my dr., just his triage nurse who told me to use it for at least 3 weekks. THEN WHAT??? i look horrible. i can't go outside. i was told not to cover it. when will the crustiness go away? when will the redness go away. what will happen if i just stop using it? will my keratosis go away? will i have a scar? when will my face look normal again? HELP!!!!!
